He did. I recall he swiped a lot of Miller's RONIN, as well.

McFarlane swiped a bit of JB Hulk stuff during his own run on the title.

He swiped more than the double page spread if IRC, I think he swiped the build up as well.

For me, the difference between a swipe and a homage is this - context. Look at the two posts upthread. There's an inherant reason for the vision piece to look like the earlier piece. Why should Sunfire look like the Human Torch.

David Mack pretty much swiped every pose in an Avengers issue from Adam Hughes.

As JB mentions, the worst are where no effort is made to integrate internal consistancy between what has gone before and the swiped panel. I like continuity of figure, face and costume in my comics. More and more I'm seeing a complete lack of these, depending on what pose the porn model has posed in the reference photo (GL I'm lookng at you!)

And before it is bought up - clearly the JB FF No.1 recreations are not swipes.

Don't forget. . .
